Defunct

All right..  This blog is now defunct.

What happened is, I have a Blogger blog, Wordpress blog, DeviantArt, Tumblr, Flickr, and a few other ones I can't remember.  What I'm doing is closing down all my extraneous blogs and deciding on one (or two).

I'll now only be updating my DeviantArt and my Tumblr.

See ya guys.

I Need To Focus...

...on one venue, and I think that DeviantArt is it.  It's kind of over-saturated, but that same saturation is inspiring.  I don't have anything up yet in my gallery, as of this writing, but you can find me at: http://inkicho.deviantart.com/

See ya there.

I'm Back...

...in California!  I gotta hit the ground running.  I have to pack for the move to my new house, and then get ready for the new semester!

Here's a quick watercolor of a Himalayan Monal.  It was a beautiful bird, and it was a challenge to try and capture its colors with only 8 or 9 basic colors.  Gotta go study!  See ya for now!

And So We Trek...

...back to our lives.  I'm setting off for California in a few minutes - I'm all packed up and ready to go.  I'm looking forward to the trip back.  My family and I will be driving the 1,045 miles back home (Google Maps FTW!) with a night's stay in Las Vegas.  My iPod is charged and my sketchbook is ready!

Above is a figure drawing from a while ago.  It was one of the first drawings I ever "emoted" on, at the insistence of a substitute teacher.  Raging teen hormones narrowed my range of expression to "angst" and that was that.  It was a fun experience, though.  It planted a seed in me.  I've been thinking of different ways to convey emotion through drawings, and I'm itching to try them out!  Oh man, I need to make some time!

See ya for now...  Space Cowboy.  [tee hee.]

Isaac and a Random Guy From San Francisco

Here are two quick heads that I did in Photoshop a while back.  Painting is fun, but I want to get better!  I think I have the day off today, so I'll attempt to do some painting. 

I wonder what I should paint...

Some Figure Drawings...

So, I'm in Colorado right now, visiting my folks.  Ever notice how family vacations are more tiring than non-vacations?  Anyway, here are a few figure drawings from last semester.  I can't wait to start fall semester!  I have 3 art classes!

Oop - gotta go.  Vacation time.

Time To Get Back Into The Swing Of Things..

It's been a while.  I've been busy.  Schoolwork!

I've been learning a very difficult lesson these days.  The theme of my life these past few months have been discipline, discipline, discipline.  Anyway, though I haven't been uploading any new drawings onto the site, I've been drawing in my sketchbook - and I've been getting better!  There are a few things going on right now that I have to deal with, but I'll be back with some new (and improved) drawings soon!  For now, here's an orangutan I drew on a Sketchcrawl session!
